About Cardrona

Cardrona Ski Resort considers itself the “peoples’ mountain”, and for good reason. It comes complete with the Southern Hemisphere’s most extensive terrain park facilities – four parks and two half pipes, tailored kids skiing areas and wide groomers on which to lay the planks over.

Cardrona Ski Resort also boasts some of the most reliable snow in the region, thanks to its high elevation topping out at 1860m and southerly aspect, favourable to the region.

REVIEWS

Cardrona Alpine Resort

I haven't skied before, but my first time here was outstanding (after falling and tumbling a number of times). They have complete facilities and amenities to ensure your experience would be great, from shuttles, to perfect sizing of boots and skis, to food. If you have a car not built for unsealed roads, do consider taking the shuttle, keeps the car cleaner too :)

Anyone going there for the first time will have no issues. Just a easy place to get around.
Car park is a bit of a mosh pit at the end of the day but I'm happy to settle for that as long as you keep parking fees away.

Ski teacher was amazing. Snow board teacher was terrible. I think the experience for a beginner really depends on the teacher you get. Lots of slopes and ‘real’ snow. Food very disappointing. Very limited options for food allergies. I noticed the resort opened in 1980. I think they have kept the same menu! Rental area for equipment was very good. Clothing was difficult to get as the counter was mostly not staffed.

Very efficient and friendly staff. Ski classes for under 5 were good. Had to queue a lot for lifts. Foodwise go upstairs to the table service area. The food there is much better than the canteen. The drive up can feel sketchy but it's safe enough if you are prepared.
